On Tuesday, it was confirmed that Anna Duggar has given birth to her fifth child with the scandalized 19 Kids and Counting star. Per a statement on the Duggar family's website, Josh and Anna welcomed another boy into the world and have named the little one Mason Garrett Duggar.

Back in May, Jill Dillard, Jinger Vuolo, Jessa Seewald, and Joy-Anna Duggarfiled a lawsuit against police and county officials in Springdale and Washington County, Arkansas, as well as the publishers of In Touch, for releasing police documents revealing Josh Duggar sexually assaulted members of his family.

The sisters argued their lawsuit was "about protecting children who are victims of abuse," stating that under Arkansas laws, police are forbidden from divulging any information about sexual misconduct involving children.

The case was so airtight, even their abuser wanted in! A month later, it was revealed Josh was looking to join his sisters' lawsuit over feeling "victimized and forced to relieve the painful and difficult circumstances of a traumatic experience" from the controversy.

But unfortunately for Josh, the girls don't think his "traumatic experience" suddenly makes him a victim in the case where he's really the perpetrator.

The Counting On stars have revealed they want a judge to deny their big bro's request to join their lawsuit. New court docs obtained by E! News state Josh's presence next to his victims will "confuse" the jury:

As we reported, last month, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, and Joy Duggar filed a lawsuit against city, county, and police officials, along with the publishers of In Touch, for releasing 2015 documents revealing brother Josh Duggar sexually assaulted several minors, including members of his family.

In the suit, they claim they spoke to authorities in 2006, and were assured their statements would NOT be seen by the public.

Fast forward to now, Josh is joining his sisters in the lawsuit, claiming the leak of information was humiliating and caused him great pain. Additionally, he was "victimized and forced to relieve the painful and difficult circumstances of a traumatic experience as a juvenile."

The controversial reality TV star is seeking damages from all offending parties. The sisters have previously stated they are taking legal action in order to protect victims of child abuse.

Now that the dust has settled — and Josh is apparently back in the family's good graces — four of his sisters are seeking legal retribution against the real enemy: the police officials and reporters who released their family secrets to the public!

Jill, Jessa, Jinger, and Joy (the fam's spinoff-worthy "fab four," if you will) filed a lawsuit against the city of Springdale, Arkansas over the 2015 police documents, according to TMZ.

In the suit, they claim that they had spoken to authorities in 2006 about the sexual assault when they were all minors, and were assured their statements would only be shared with police and child services.

The Duggar girls say In Touch filed a Freedom of Information Act request in 2015 to obtain the docs — which they used to publish at least 8 stories about the investigation. But under Arkansas laws, the police are apparently forbidden from

Despite being "happily married" as her Instagram caption says, an InTouch source says the momma of four is meeting with a divorce lawyer:

"Anna hasn't told Josh she wants a divorce, but a friend of hers put her in touch with a lawyer and Anna has spoken to the lawyer on the phone. She's been putting off meeting them for some time because she was terrified of being spotted at their office, but she is now finally ready to make the move and will be visiting the attorney in the next week or so."

Wow.

"Anna and Josh share the same bed, but she never has sex with him anymore. She just does not want to."

And the source claims Josh's wife of six years is hoping to win big in the divorce:
